Mock Fried Ice Cream

I am sure your thinking, Ice Cream? Are you kidding? Lady - did you not know that it is flippin freezing out side? I do know. As a matter of fact it is -8 here right now as I type. Brrrrrrrrr.

But I can't help what people want when they want it. See I usually post requested recipes - it is just as easy as emailing them. So it is my cousins birthday today and she wants my Mock Fried Ice Cream and she wants my Fettucine but today I am just posting this magically delicious dessert and perhaps later I will add a picture after we make it.

Ok so here it is:

1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream

1 cup butter - melted

1 1/3 cup brown sugar

1 cup chopped pecans (optional if you like nuts)

1/2 cup coconut (optional as well)

6 cups Special K Cereal

2 tsp. Vanilla

Hot fudge and Caramel for garnish

Put ice cream out to soften. Blend last 6 ingredients together. Pour 1/2 of the mixture in bottom of a 9x13 inch cake pan. Spread softened ice cream on top of mixture, then add rest of topping. Put in freezer for one hour or until time to serve. Slice and serve topped with Hot Fudge or Caramel or both if it tickles your fancy.

So yummy and really easy. It is also a great dessert to make when you are having mexican food.

Amy - Just a mama of three who likes to cook (especially for a crowd) loves to bake (pies are my favorite) and never can seem to follow a recipe, even my own. My kids are my greatest critics and fans. I am addicted to kitchen gadgets and cook books. This is my way of sharing my family favorites, new finds and tips I have learned along the way.
